Description

Problem encountered on https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/data/spark-tutorial/install-spark
Operating System: windows

I am following the instructions to install Spark. I first installed Java 8.1 SDK (legacy?). I then added the environment variables, and received the truncation warning. Why is there no instructions for avoiding the truncation warning? Wouldn't all installations have this problem using C:\bin???

Then I open a **new** command window, (like the instructions say to do) and I receive this error when checking the Spark version...

I don't understand why this is so difficult? I can't even write any Spark C# code.
I was hoping to use Spark with C# for a coding challenge!!
